Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify the thermal environment formed under two types of tarp tents. Thermal environment measurements were carried out in summer for tarp tents A and B, as well as without a tarp tent (in the sun). The following findings were obtained through the measurements. The MRT around noon was extremely high in the sun, reaching approximately 75 °C. Meanwhile, the MRT under the tarp tents were approximately 15 °C lower than in the sun at 1.1 m above the ground. The UTCI reduction of the tarp tents A and B at a solar radiation of 800 W/m2 were 2.1 °C and 2.3 °C, respectively.
